It doesn't matter how well you, the author, understands the mechanics of your game if that information doesn't end up on the page. This is one of the biggest reasons to hire an editor. They'll be able to read the text and say, "This isn't clear. I don't know what to do here." 1/2

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

Well, actually, kinda, yeah, close to what happened. It's not for nothing that Jack Dorsey, who started the place and was on its board, basically ran away when the trans folks and furries scared off all the crypto bros he assumed would be the natural demographic here (they went to Nostr instead).

Bluesky often seems like a project run by tech people who place great value on its architectural differences from Twitter, which nobody cares about, while not understanding how they walked ass-backwards into having a userbase (whomst they fear and despise)

Leafing through the Invincible TTRPG from Free League. If you’re wondering, like I always do, how much this new superhero TTRPG lives in the shadow of the 1980s era TSR Marvel game, the answer this time is: VERY. FASRIP stat-cronym. Karma. Zones. Words+numbers for your stat ratings. Yyyep!

Today I have mostly been sorting through piles of papers that have been sitting in the study/office for far too long. Bit tedious, but hopefully makes forward-moving things easier.

Ah man, this is very sad, I chatted with Ronnie Le Drew a few years back, researching a puppet-based comedy project and he was as lovely as you'd hope, *delighted* to talk about being Zippy and larking about as various Labyrinth goblins with David Bowie. RIP. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

During yesterday's Gen Con Tornado the roof above our booth sprung a small leak, but fortunately no harm was done. #RuneQuest was inducted into the ENNIES Hall of Fame at the Awards Ceremony the night before, so we'll just say this was the great Storm God Orlanth showing his approval.

If you’re a Gondorian soldier your experience with hobbits is a tiny guy shows up with a wizard and is immediately taken in the Steward’s counsel. He saves Faramir when the Steward goes mad. A second tiny guy arrives with the Rohirrim and kills the Witch King. The first one then goes on campaign …

Catching up on a few randomly selected Ennies results there. A good night for Dolmenwood, Legend in the Mist, Daggerheart and Avantris Crooked Moon. (Full list on the Ennies feed.)
